Tailored Learning
Your Journey Starts Here
Tailored Learning
Tailored Learning is an externally case managed program for students disengaged with learning.
Tailored Learning at Salisbury High School
At Salisbury High School, we believe every student deserves the right support to succeed. Sometimes, young people face personal challenges that make it hard for them to attend school regularly or stay connected to their learning. Tailored Learning is a way we support these students by creating flexible, personalised programs that meet their individual needs.
Importantly, all students participating in Tailored Learning remain enrolled at our school. We work closely with students and their families to monitor progress, provide support and maintain strong connections to their education.
What does Tailored Learning look like?
Tailored Learning is designed around the individual needs of each student and may include:
- A personalised timetable developed in partnership with the student, family and school staff.
- Support from a case manager.
- Learning in an alternative space within the school or at an offsite location.
- Regular communication between the school, family and any support services involved.
Even when a student is learning offsite, the school remains responsible for their education and wellbeing. The goal of Tailored Learning is to support students to re-engage with learning, build confidence and achieve positive outcomes for their future.
Three Levels of Support:
A) THRIVE (Level 1 Tailored Learning):
This is for students who are not engaging in mainstream lessons but are attending school regularly and want to stay connected. It’s suitable for those who need a more flexible timetable. Support may include modified subjects, parent meetings, and referrals to support services.
B) Tailored Learning On-site (Levels 2–3 Tailored Learning):
This is for students who require case management and extra support to stay connected. They may have previously experienced sporadic school attendance and found it difficult to engage in mainstream lessons, but still want to be part of the school community. These students receive flexible timetables, regular check-ins, and tailored wellbeing and learning support.
C) Tailored Learning Off-site (Level 4 Tailored Learning):
This is for students who are completely disengaged from school and need intensive case management and wraparound support. Learning takes place in an off-site setting, but our school continues to oversee their learning and wellbeing.
How to Access Support
Our goal is to ensure every student, no matter their circumstances, feels safe, supported, and hopeful about their future.
If you feel that your child could benefit from a Tailored Learning Program, please contact your child’s care teacher in the first instance.
